Here is our soccer prediction with review.

The time has come for the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018. The teams of France and Belgium will face the fierce clash against each other. The match between them will be played at the stadium in St. Peterburg, promising to be extremely interesting. One of the two teams must win, no matter how the match develops, and the prize will be a place in the final. There the winner of this match will meet the winner of the match between Croatia and England.

The news for France

After the French were dealt with Argentina in the eighth finals, the team met another South American team in the ¼-finals in the face of Uruguay. The duel developed well for the European team, which led shortly before the end of the first half, and eventually managed to win by 2-0. In the match against Argentina, the French showed a lot of attacking power, while Uruguay demonstrated calm and power over the game itself. The good news for Didier Deschamps before this game is the return to play of Blaise Matuidi, who was punished in a fight against Uruguay. No missing from the composition of the French is expected.

The News of Belgium

Looking at the statistics so far in the tournament, Belgium is the only team of the 4 semi-finalists who managed to win each of their five matches so far in the regular time. Belgium has managed to deal not with anyone but with Brazil in the previous elimination phase. The Red Devils won 2-1 over Brazil and deservedly ranked among the last four teams in the race. On the eighth finals, the Belgians coached Japan with a score of 3-2. Belgium shows true power so far and definitely has something to give its fans. Thomas Meunier will not be available for Roberto Martinez because of the penalty, so he will have to make certain changes in his composition. At least there are no problems with injured players.

France vs. France Belgium – statistics

France has not played so many matches with another rival as with Belgium. The two teams have 73 clashes, with statistics showing 30 victories for Belgium, 24 for France and 19 draws. The World Finals have met twice, and both French are the final winner. For the last time, they met in 1986 when France won the third place against Belgium with 4-2 after extra time. In 2015, the two teams played in a friendly match, which ended with a success of Belgium at 4-3. This is their last meeting. But now they will face each other in a fierce clash where the bet is very big. The winner will fight for the trophy in the final match until the loser will play in the third place. Both teams showed that they can make faulty defenses, but they are also unmistakable in an attacking plan. “The Red Devils” did a lot in their last match against Brazil and showed that their golden generation is not accidentally aiming at the title. France had problems against Argentina but showed very good football against Uruguay. Our opinion is that the French team is more ripe for this final and will be able to reach the trophy battle. Belgium has shown much to this point, but our opinion is that the team will take part in the fight for the third position in the race. As a second option, we will score over 2.5 goals in the game because we expect an open clash.
